York Club 2.34

The York Club is a private social club that was incorporated on November 22, 1909. It is located at 135 St. George Street in The Annex neighbourhood of central Toronto, Ontario, Canada, close to the University of Toronto.The club's building was originally constructed in 1889 as a residence for businessman George Gooderham Sr. (1830–1905) and his large family, taking nearly three years to complete. The home was designed in the Romanesque Revival style by architect David Roberts Jr., who also designed the Gooderham Building downtown.After George Gooderham Sr. died in May 1905, at the age of 75, his widow Harriet Gooderham (née Dean) sold the house and moved to a smaller home at 224 St. George Street. The York Club has owned the building since 1910.
